Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

First year at uniI was too poor to get a bus season ticket for the ten mile trip to uni from the edge-of-the-city halls. So I went to a second-hand bike shop and asked for their cheapest bike.
£30 bought me a rusting blue ladies shopper. The brakes weren't up to much, most of the spokes were loose and after a couple of days one pedal fell off. More than once I could be seen red-faced and psychotic kicking the bike as it lay in the gutter.
I rode it with one pedal for about two months before my sister bought me a better bike. The old one, I threw in a pond.

You killed my dog!My poor little Woofus drowned after chasing a butterfly into a pond and becoming entangled with a rusty old blue ladies shopper bicycle with one pedal that some fucker had carelessly discarded. I still wake up screaming with the sound of his last gargled woofs in my ears.
You owe me a new dog, you cunt!

EhThrowing a bike in a pond makes you a little bit of a dickhead in my book. No need for that.

Come on...This is frankspencer we're talking about here - this is clearly a made up story, as if it were true he would have had sex with the bike before throwing it into a pond...
